    Buy back clause not working?

    Took over at Real Madrid and trying to exercise the buy back clause for Reguilon [active during july 21 and july 22] but it keeps getting rejected or negotiated by Tottenham. I'm in the right month, I've tried putting a non-negotiable £40m bid in but it gets rejected. Otherwise, Tottenham...

    Suggestion for future FM - Sports Psychologist/Youth Development.

    A change that I would like to see in the FM games is the ability to hire a sports psychologist. Just read an interesting article on f365 about one and would love to see it used in FM as a means of coaching your players mental/hidden attributes. Perhaps to make them big game players, handle...

    FIFA players with FM stats.

    I started creating some ukrainian players and decided to use the fm stats to fill in their attributes giving 5 points on Fifa for every point in their fm stats. For example, if dribbling is 18 on fm, they get 90 dribbling on fifa and so on. There's obviously one or two points grace either side...

    Who normally follows Sir Alex?

    On my 3rd big save [after Everton and Celtic] with Arsenal and after 3 seasons Sir Alex finally retires from the game. Who is his successor? Sam Allardyce! He was unemployed after an unsuccessful spell with Chelsea! I'm delighted, obviously and i'm sitting 12 points clear of them at the top...

    Who would you want to see taken over?

    I'm thinking about starting a new save by giving a team a new wealthy chairman [but not necessarily a crazy budget]. Just wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to which team would be the most interesting. For example, Newcastle - good fanbase, facilities, chairman willing to sell, haven't...

    Old Firm in England

    Creating a new database with Rangers and Celtic in the Championship. Can't figure out how to get them in the English League Cup. They're in the FA cup and Championship only. Any suggestions?

    Worst Mind Games Ever

    Playing as Celtic [4th season], Mid February, I've just spanked 2nd placed Hearts 6 - 0 to move 22 points clear at the top. Hearts manager Craig Levein tells the press that he doubts Celtic's chances and insists they look less and less likely to wind up champions. Unbelievable.

    End of Season Awards

    Advice for Hamsik

    Don't know if anyones tried this but i retrained Hamsik to play as a striker [i train most of my players for new positions to add a bit of flexibility to the squad. It took most of the first season for him to learn it] and played him as a deep lying forward - attack and he absolutely bangs them...

    Non-Real Players

    Has anyone ever tried playing a league with non-real players [the option when your setting up your game]? Obviously, part of the joy of FM is using your own personal knowledge of players to build a team but I'm looking for a new challenge [having won the Champions League with Celtic after 12...

    Theo Walcott

    Ok, what's the deal with Theo Walcott? I cannot for the life of me get the best out of him. I've tried him AMR and Striker, both with and without creative freedom, as a poacher, winger advanced forward [supply running onto ball] and still he's one of my lowest rated players [6.6 in march]...
